No Left Turns: You can’t turn left on this road. Usually you would see these on highway or main road.
No U-turns: You can’t do a U-turn on this road. A U-turn is used by bikers and drivers when they wish to turn around and go on the other side of the road.
Bike Lane: This means that it is ok for you to bike in this lane. DO NOT walk in this lane.
One Way: This means that you can only move in one direction on this street. Make sure that you pay attention to what direction the traffic is going. Pedestrians are not included in this rule, just bikers and drivers.
Railroad Crossing: These are found by train tracks and are used to alert bikers and pedestrians to be careful. When a train is coming, there will usually be lights flashing or a bar will come down to block your way. DO NOT cross the tracks if you see a train coming. Wait for it to pass, and then continue on your way.
Roundabout: This sign lets you know when you are about to enter a roundabout. Follow the rules for roundabouts to make your way around it.
